2D Calibration

A 2D Calibration is intended for very low tilt operation (<5

°) where calibrating the

TRAX with greater tilt is not practical.

This procedure calibrates for hard and soft-iron effects in only two dimensions, and in

general is effective for operation and calibration in the tilt range of -5

° to +5°. The

recommended 12 point calibration pattern is a circle of evenly spaced points, as given in

Table 5-3.
